China…. Karakoram….. Pakistan

Many moons ago I made a prediction on the Karakoram China nexus. 

Here 

This was also a reason for the start of the Kargil war and the Siachen conflict. 

With the current situation in Pakistan, it is this close to become the next Afghanisthan.Floods, Terrorists, Drones,  Riots. Just watching what the nation has done to itself is a pleasure. Mhd Ali Jinnah (Quiad -e-Azam) must be rolling in his grave. 

Now everything I predicted  seems to be coming true..(don’t you just love when that happens? I must rename my self to the oracle or the soothsayer or something :D Although I cannot see my own future, but none the less) 

I don’t really understand, at times they say India steals its water, They the records prove it is the mis management on the part of the Pakistanis (well Duh!) 

Please see the video that I embedded. 

  

Pakistan does a back flip on India stealing water. 

  

Corruption is our right
  

I love this dude…he speaks his heart out!!!! 

Now Pakistan is flooded and they blame India for that. Too bad they cannot blame the jews for this 

 
 
 
 
 
 

  

India now trying to flood Lahore, alleges daily

 

 
 2010-08-28 17:30:00
India has caused the devastating floods in Pakistan by releasing excess water into the Satluj and Beas rivers and now is trying to inundate Lahore by pumping more water in the Ravi, an editorial in a Pakistani paper said Saturday.

Here 

 Anyway now coming back to the point, China and Karakoram. I was mentioning China was making a second port in gawder to take the gold copper and  mineral out of  Pakistan.  Here  

Now the chinese are smart, they do not want to keep all their eggs in one basket. They want alternatives to the ship route. they have seen in the past that the Indian navy has very effectively blocked the Pakistan ports and has brought things to a halt in the port .This can harm the Chinese manufacturing industry., So now they decided to make a road from all the way from Baluchistan to China via the Karakoram. please read my article on the karakoram highway kargil war and Siachen  here 

Now with Pakistan being in a Mess of a situation and the Army having no control over 80 % of the Pakistani land mass,  helping the Americans kill their own people, helping people in floods and killing innocent people in Baluchistan,  the Chinese decided to send their own people to protect their investment. 

While the world focuses on the flood-ravaged Indus River valley, a quiet geopolitical crisis is unfolding in the Himalayan borderlands of northern Pakistan, where Islamabad is handing over de facto control of the strategic Gilgit-Baltistan region in the northwest corner of disputed Kashmir to China. 

China wants a grip on the region to assure unfettered road and rail access to the Gulf through Pakistan. It takes 16 to 25 days for Chinese oil tankers to reach the Gulf. When high-speed rail and road links through Gilgit and Baltistan are completed, China will be able to transport cargo from Eastern China to the new Chinese-built Pakistani naval bases at Gwadar, Pasni and Ormara, just east of the Gulf, within 48 hours. 

Mystery surrounds the construction of 22 tunnels in secret locations where Pakistanis are barred. Tunnels would be necessary for a projected gas pipeline from Iran to China that would cross the Himalayas through Gilgit. But they could also be used for missile storage sites. 

  

The New York times 

To break it down for you , China has sent 11,000 of its soldiers to Baltistan and Gilgit  which are essentially marked in red, in this picture. 

The Region in red

The Region in red

 

 Now this regions is PoK 

PoK, Pakistan Occupied Kashmir

PoK, Pakistan Occupied Kashmir

 

So  what Pakistan is doing is “allowing” Chinese people to come in  PoK , which  Indians claim as theirs, And allowing the Chinese construct a High speed railway and a high way,  which will connect China to Iran and then to the Middle east. just to give you an idea how big this road will be, It will start some where in Bejing go via Tibet, to Pakistan, Iran and reach the middle east and then  probably Africa and all this bypassing India. They are restructiong the Silk route, this time by a high speed train link and now instead of trading  of silk they will be trading energy and chinese junk. 

Silk route

Silk route, Red is Land routes and the Blue is sea routes

 

Now, not only have they sent workers to do the jobs but they have also sent 11,000 army men to protect the workers from the local disturbances. 

The entire Pakistan-occupied western portion of Kashmir stretching from Gilgit in the north to Azad (Free) Kashmir in the south is closed to the world, in contrast to the media access that India permits in the eastern part, where it is combating a Pakistan-backed insurgency. But reports from a variety of foreign intelligence sources, Pakistani journalists and Pakistani human rights workers reveal two important new developments in Gilgit-Baltistan: a simmering rebellion against Pakistani rule and the influx of an estimated 7,000 to 11,000 soldiers of the People’s Liberation Army. 

The New York Times 

 This is essentially a problem and there is nothing Indians can do about it but to keep a ever more watchful eye on the Siachen glacier. 

Just wanted to pass a casual warning to you guys 

The Importance of Siachen glacier In context of the Karakorum glacier here

On the Chinese govt side, their economy is growing at  double figure, If i remember the agriculture industry in the soviet union grew in triple figures in the mid 60′s but in the end it eventually broke  like a wine glass with thousands of pieces every where, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Ukraine etc. Anyway, what i am trying to say it, The bigger they are the harder they fall. 

What is India doing? 

Well, With the incompetent Manmohan Singh and his foreign policy over China I cannot anything more  from him. Apart from building a few dams here and there in the Kashmir region, Nothing much.
